Yes. Ubuntu uses Unity, Xubuntu used XFCE (hence the X in the name) and
Kubuntu uses KDE.

Mostly a matter of personal taste and your individual workflow. All 3 of
the GUIs I've mentioned also do other things--like Windows, they have
printer installation programs, networking configuration programs, and so
on.

Pretty much. I use FreeBSD at work, and my workflow is mostly terminals
and browsers, so I could probably use just about anything.

Much of the time, people support a particular distribution just because of
their personal taste. I'm not very familiar with SuSE, but Gentoo is liked
by people who don't mind doing a lot of command line work and Ubuntu is
liked by those who want something that they can just install and use.
(That is an EXTREMELY generalized statement on my part, but generally,
Gentoo requires some reading and configuring to get running smoothly and
Ubuntu, in theory at least, is just install and use.
